Hello everybody,
since I updated from Lyx 1.4.5 to 1.5.1 my citations look different. I
used to get numbered citations ( e.g [1] ...) and now I see something
like "Author et. al (2007) [1]". I used to be able to set the
reference style where I included the .bib file (e.g. apsrev), and now
it seems I can choose the reference style in each citation.
Unfortunately I cannot choose the style I would like to use.
So I checked Documents->Preferences->Bibliography and saw that
"Natbib" is selected and what is really unexpected, I cannot change to
"Default (numerical)". Each time I select "Default", close the window
by pressing OK, "Natbib" is selected the next time I check this
settings.
Any suggestions if selecting "Defualt (numerical)" would solve the
problem and how I could convince LyX to accept my selection?
Yes, that probably would fix the problem. You could also set Natbib and
choose "Numerical" in the drop-down box.
But the problem is you can't select Default. Can you run LyX this from a
terminal window and see what error messages you're getting? I'm guessing
there's some ill-formed parameter being passed out of the dialog before
the Bibliography Engine parameter is read, and that is causing LyX to choke.
If you can't run from a window or don't know how, you can send me the
file privately, and I'll check it out.
